Currently MTV is experiencing a major shakeup amongst network executive personnel. Whether related to this factor or solely to a decision made by MTV Standards and Practices Department, the station has decided to pull Wrestling Society X's fourth episode from the air next week. In its place will air a program called "Scarred."
It is believed that MTV higher-ups were uncomfortable with a stunt that was scheduled to air on next week's episode involving Rickey Banderas throwing a fireball in the face of WSX champion, Vampiro. They feared that children would try the stunt at home.
Now also coming into question is the future of WSX being aired in a time-slot that goes head-to-head with ECW. Amid the corporate shakeup, Paul DeBenedittis was amongst those let go. DeBenedittis was responsible for placing WSX in the existing time-slot. Time will tell if a move is made. MTV is contracted to show 10 taped Wrestling Society X episodes.
Wrestling Society X is currently scheduled to return on Tuesday 2/27 at 10:30 PM

via fact of unfavorable scores. It wasn't even averaging the scores maximum MTV exhibits get (that are quite small interior the 1st place). Dusty Rhodes has been placed on ECW's ingenious group and has been clever the previous 2 weeks. he's been putting CM Punk interior the 2nd a million/2 hour whilst WSX is on and it has garnered ECW the scores for the time slot.

This is not suprising, as shows on MTV come and go all the time. I'd heard they were doing pretty well though, but it wasn't my cup of tea, so I'm not too sad. I feel kind of sorry for the indy guys that are losing that national exposure though.

Damn. That show was actually growing on me. These are all pre-tapped way ahead of time (I think they did it last fall). I didn't think the show was going to be renewed for a second season, but after three episodes? Maybe if they hadn't rerun it 50 times a week people wouldn't have gotten sick of it so fast.

not really disappointed...but i am kind of surprised. i figured mtv was running that show to draw in more guys to watch mtv (instead of girly shows like laguna beach), so i figured it would do well.

Thats a disapointment, they had some talent, but now wwe or tna can take advantage from them.

I never watched it, so I guess I'm not missing anything.
